1/ Russia faces "tectonic events" in the near future due to Ukraine's seizure of the initiative in the war, which presages an "impending disaster", according to a gloomy commentary by Russian journalist and warblogger Maxim Kalashnikov. โฌ‡๏ธ
2/ Kalashnikov draws attention to the convergence of several unfavourable trends for Russia โ€“ economic, military and industrial โ€“ which he says are seriously threatening a Russian war effort that is faltering and weakened by chronic corruption, inertia, and backward-thinking.
3/ He writes:

"We are on the eve of a new upheaval. Anyone who studied dialectical and historical materialism ... knows that the number of changes always leads to a qualitative leap. Or a collapse.

War in early summer 2026 is the threshold of the latter. What do we have?"

1/ I went to Parliament to watch the Women and Equalities Committee. The chair of the EHRC Mary-Ann Stephenson (MAS) and CEO John Kirkpatrick were giving evidence, the other adults in the room were Rosie Duffield and Rebecca Paul MP. Other than that it was the slow kid's table. Image
2/ This is the committee chair Sarah Owen MP, she is EXTREMELY fair unless you're Rosie or Sarah when she'll look at Nadia Whittome and mutter. She also thinks intersex means people are neither male or female and didn't like it much when the chair of the EHRC corrected that. Image
3/ So the committee kicks off with about half an hour of the kids table saying it is COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE to ever tell if a bloke is a bloke if he puts a dress on. MAS has to patiently explain people have eyes and seem to be able to work it out. MPs think this is genocide. Image

The @nytimes has published many one-sided pieces on Israel since October 7, but this ridiculous piece by @Megankstack buries the central fact so completely that you have to excavate the article to find it:
Israel did not start any of this. Hope that helps.
Now let me explain:
@nytimes @Megankstack The piece frames Israeli military action in Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, and Iran as evidence of a new expansionism, a country drunk on American backing, settler messianism, and military impunity.
Interesting.
What it treats as merely background noise is that every front it describes was already an active front of war against Israel.
That is the premise on which the entire argument depends.

If you watch p*rn, donโ€™t expect Allah to put barakah in your time, energy, and discipline.

Here are 5 things your nafs is silently stealing from you:
1. Your focus.

The nafs ammara doesnโ€™t need much. One relapse. One night.

And suddenly you canโ€™t stay on one task.

You open your laptopโ€ฆ but youโ€™re on your phone, switching tabs, finishing nothing.

Thatโ€™s not laziness. Itโ€™s the nafs still in control.

And the scary part? You donโ€™t even notice it.
2. Your energy.

After a relapse you know the feeling.
Tired. Heavy. Slow. Already behind before Dhuhr even comes.

The ruh and nafs feel at war.
Feed the nafs through haram - the ruh feels weaker.

The Prophet ๏ทบ mentioned the โ€œRanโ€ on the heart.

And you can feel that weight. Every time.

What does your duโ€™a sound like when youโ€™re carrying that?

In 1942 a Black mess attendant saved 15 shipmates by towing them through shark-infested water for eight hours.

The Navy gave him a letter, and the country forgot him.

He died at 37, worn down by a war that never let go of him.

Eighty years later, the Navy named a warship after him.

This is the story of Charles Jackson French..๐Ÿงต1/6Image
๐Ÿงต 2/6

Charles Jackson French was born in 1919 in Foreman, Arkansas. His parents died when he was young, and he was raised by his older sister Viola in Omaha, Nebraska.

As a boy in the segregated South, he was barred from the whites-only swimming pools. So he learned to swim in the Red River. It was a skill that would one day save 15 lives.

At 18 he enlisted in the United States Navy. It was 1937, and the Navy, like almost everything else in America at the time, was segregated. At the time, the Navy severely restricted Black sailors to the Steward's Branch and related service roles. French served as a mess attendant, cooking, cleaning, and serving meals to white officers.

He finished his first enlistment and left the Navy in late 1941. Then, just days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Charles French walked into a recruiting office and signed up again.

He was sent to the Pacific.
๐Ÿงต 3/6

In the early hours of September 5 1942, French was aboard the USS Gregory, a lightly armed high-speed transport, patrolling the black water between Savo Island and Guadalcanal.

In the darkness a US aircraft accidentally dropped a flare that lit up the Gregory and her sister ship like targets on a stage. Three Japanese destroyers opened fire. The Gregory was hit again and again and sank within minutes.

The survivors were thrown into the open ocean. Many were badly wounded. Sharks moved through the water around them, and a Japanese-held island lay nearby where capture would likely mean death.

French was one of the few men who was uninjured. He helped gather 15 wounded shipmates onto a raft. But the current was slowly dragging them toward the enemy shore.

So French made a decision that should have been impossible.

He tied a rope from the raft around his own waist, slipped into the shark-infested water, and began to swim, pulling all 15 men behind him.

๐Ÿšจ Nigerian foods you're eating wrong

Our market has the most powerful food on earth. Most people are wasting half of it.

1. แปŒgbแปฬnแปฬ (bush mango seed aka apon)

1. แปŒgbแปฬnแปฬ (bush mango seed aka apon)

โŒ You discard the outer seed coat before grinding.

โœ… The dark outer skin of the dried seed contains the highest concentration of ellagic acid and phenolic antioxidants.

Grind the whole dried seed, coat included. That's where the anti-inflammatory load sits, not the inner oil alone.Image
2. Ugu (fluted pumpkin leaf)

โŒ You boil it in your soup for 20โ€“30 minutes.

โœ… Heat above 70ยฐC for more than 5 minutes destroys 60-80% of ugu's folate, iron, and vitamin C.

Add it in the final 2-3 minutes of cooking or eat young leaves raw in smoothies.

The iron your doctor says you're deficient in is what you are being boiling out.Image

Tamthil becomes clear disbelief when a person means that Allahโ€™s attributes share the same haqiqah (ontological reality), kunh (quintessential nature),
kayfiyyah (modality), or mahiyyah (quiddity) as the attributes of created beings. Likewise, it is disbelief to claim that Allahโ€™s dhat (essence) or sifat fall under a shared genus and differentia with created things, or to ascribe the specific properties of creation to Allah.
This would necessarily entail affirming created limitations for Allah, exalted is He above that. Examples of this include the belief of Christians who ascribe divinity to Isa Ibn Maryam, a created human being, and idol worshippers who direct worship to created forms and statues.

"[We consider] an unequivocal military defeat and occupation of Germany absolutely necessary for moral and political reasons." -Helmuth James von Moltke

They urged Britain to start the war.

They sabotaged the Eastern Front.

What did these gentlemen do on D-Day?

"We know that the success of our struggle would likely mean the complete collapse of our national unit. But we are prepared to face that." -Helmuth James von Moltke, 1942.

When people tell you who they are, listen.

This is what aristocracy looks like.

In 1943, Canaris has Moltke meet the OSS in Istanbul.

OSS agents tell Bill Donovan of "the readiness of a powerful German group to prearrange and support military operations of the Allies against Nazi Germany," and draft the "Hermann Plan" for the Chiefs of Staff. Image

๐ŸงตI asked Alter Statems AI to explain the connections between the gut, the immune system, and autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Remember to always double check an AI for accuracy.
๐Ÿฆ  The Gut: Not Just a Digestive Tube
The gut is arguably the most underestimated organ system in the body. It's not just where food goes โ€” it's a 30-foot-long neurological and immunological command center that operates with remarkable autonomy.
Key anatomical facts:
The gut contains roughly 100 million neurons โ€” more than the spinal cord โ€” forming the enteric nervous system(ENS), often called the "second brain."
It houses approximately 70-80% of the body's total immune cells, concentrated in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT).
The gut epithelium is a single cell layer thick โ€” a microscopic barrier between you and the outside world. The surface area? About 300 square meters, roughly the size of a tennis court.

Claude Fable 5 is here. New model generation, new way of working.

Here's how to get started in Claude Code and on the Claude Platform: ๐Ÿงต
In Claude Code, run /model and select Fable from the model picker, or switch directly with:

/model claude-fable-5
In the API, switch the model ID parameter to "claude-fable-5" in both the Messages API and Claude Managed Agents. For some accounts, an admin may need to enable access first.

The /claude-api skill in Claude Code can help you build with Fable on the API. Image
